I mean you got 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.399 two games to go, and based on what I've seen 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:36.000 our practice this week, nobody's letting these two opportunities go. Yeah, 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:37.520 guys are ready to bring it, aren't they. 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:39.880 Absolutely, there's no reason to. It's a bless them to 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:43.560 play in the NFL and in any capacity. So the last 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:47.160 two opportunities are are obvious. Obviously they can be momentum 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.200 to a new season. But you know, also with that 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:50.720 being said, we have our own lives that. 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.920 We have to play for at the at the at 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:55.080 the forefront of things as well. 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:57.840 So and you are, you are your film. You know, 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.160 you are what you put on tape. So, uh it 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.880 means a lot to us individually and as a team. 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.880 So, Michael, talk a little bit about your season right now. 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:09.119 This is your fourth year, correct, yes, your fourth year. 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:11.960 Talk a little bit about how this season has gone 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:13.680 for you personally, if you don't mind. 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:15.000 It was hard. 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:16.760 It's been hard because I want to play a lot 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:20.640 more than I have been. But I'm very blessed to 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:25.240 be in Arizona. And what a time to no better 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:27.039 time than the president. They go get the job done, 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:28.640 you know what I mean? Like on a Saturday night 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:32.480 primetime game. Kyen Williams is one of my good friends. 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:34.320 I trained him in the off season in Florida, so 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.560 it'll be a fun matchup ATLA is one of my 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:40.719 favorite places right now. It's for my girlfriends from so 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:44.960 I kind of like it over there, okay by sunset. 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:47.920 So and when you get into games, I mean, I'm 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:51.880 thinking to this time a year ago at Pittsburgh against 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:56.200 the Niners at Philly in particular. I mean, you don't 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:58.640 lack for confidence, even though it's late in the season. 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.000 But I mean what you did last year and what 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:04.000 you put on film this time a year ago, how 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.240 does that sort of bolster the way you're thinking in 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:07.640 your confidence level this year. 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:08.120 Yeah. 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.560 Confidence, at least on the field. Confidence, it's never an issue. 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:14.040 I feel like, well, you know, we're all, you know, workingfield. 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:18.120 I think that, well, I know that I'm a good player. 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:20.120 I know I'm a good player, and I've shown it 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:22.359 time and time again from the time that I was 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:27.600 a little baby to and in spurts last week, you 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:30.960 know what I mean. So it's it's about the mental game. 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:31.440 I get my. 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:33.320 Confidence from first. 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:36.280 Knowing that that you know created, you know, God's image, 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.640 And after that it's about the work I put in 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:40.159 the offseason. 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.240 I work harder than anybody, I really do. 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.720 So all you can do is work hard, and then 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.080 you know, when the opportunity to meets the preparation, you know, 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:47.920 something good happens. 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:49.920 Yeah. No, I'm with you on that one. Right there. 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.679 Talk a little bit, Michael, if you will, about where 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.840 you feel your game needs to evolve and what you 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:57.839 feel like you do well right now. 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:01.239 Yeah, I think I think you know, there's a stereotype 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:05.240 when I when I left New York, somebody said I 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:10.200 couldn't block. So whoever said that, whatever, But uh, I 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:11.960 feel like it's something that I really I really even 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:13.800 honed it on now this year because. 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:16.880 I love it. I really love the block. I love 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.400 pass protection. I love to do it. I always have 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:21.400 my tape says so as well. 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:24.839 So that and along with them, there's also another stereotype 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.480 that I wasn't like really open to be like returning 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.120 kicks and stuff like that. That's something I've always did, 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:32.960 you know, until I got to the NFL, because I 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:34.679 was never asked to, because I was always the starter. 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:38.159 So now I'm in Arizona, it's it's a it's a 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:40.040 new it's a new gig, you know what I mean. 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.000 So you kind of have to adapt to what you're 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:42.600 actually doing. 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.360 I've done that, so I feel I feel as though 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:47.600 the biggest part of my game is being versatile and 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.600 whatever I'm actually do, whether it's run cat's block or 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:53.680 return or run down and I have to freaking go 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.400 block somebody on a punt return team or anything. 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:57.560 Yeah, I just love it playing. 0:06:57.720 --> 0:06:59.640 You know. That is one of the things I really 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:02.960 appre about you a lot. I've seen you develop in 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:06.440 terms of blitz pick up and you being a kind 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:09.880 of a diminutive running back compared to some of these guys, 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:12.280 some of these blitzers that are coming out, I've seen 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:13.680 you stick them right in the face, as. 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:15.800 You're saying, And I love to And that goes back 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.000 to all the way back to where I went to 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:19.640 high school, at where I grew up at. You know, 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:23.920 it's a it's a we appreciate physicality and violence, you 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:26.480 know what I mean. So just being able to carry 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.840 that and you know, carry down my shoulder. In the NFL, 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.280 where not everybody gets to go to and play, I 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:34.080 get to represent the people that to help me get. 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.480 When you get in against Carolina like you did last week, right, 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:40.640 five carries, five catches on five targets, you had a 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.240 long of eighteen. Just how much more into the flow 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.800 do you get from the first quarter to the fourth quarter? 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:48.760 And you know, what's that feel like to get that 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:50.840 first action of the year. And what do you feel 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:51.880 like by the end of the game. 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.960 Yeah, beginning of the game, I tried to I guess 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.680 I was calming myself down so much because I just 0:07:57.680 --> 0:07:59.160 didn't want to be anxious, you know what I mean. 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:01.760 But it's been a minute since I played ball in 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:04.559 a in a game capacity. But I felt great because 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.480 my family was at the game, and so I always 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:09.120 just look up in the section one seventeen wherever I 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:13.120 put him out. I get my confidence from from whenever 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:15.120 I see him. When I do this right here and 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:18.600 then they do it back, it's that time. So I 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:20.680 feel like I feel like I jumped right into it. 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:24.120 My first round was pretty good. Bad exchange. I'm gonna 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:25.880 tick it on the chin. But then after that, you know, 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:27.400 we kind of got it going a little bit. 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:30.800 So we talk a little bit about that exchange right there. 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:32.959 I don't think there was anything that I had to 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:34.960 do with like lack of reps or anything. You don't 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:37.320 think so no, because me and I, me and me 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:39.920 and Kyler, I didn't have a million reps of that 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:42.839 due you know, So it's not even It wasn't even. 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:44.760 That was really probably my far was a little bit 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:48.120 a little bit antsy to get going. I've seen a 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:51.560 huge crease, so I it was probably my fault. 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:53.680 Do you do you do you think you reached for 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:55.400 the ball? Is that? Is that what you're saying? 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.040 Or yeah, well not reach. I think that maybe my 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.760 pocket wasn't big enough, wasn't big enough with your. 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.680 Yeah, like, oh my gosh, it's amazing, what a great opportunity. 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:12.760 And then I look crazy because. 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:17.560 Yo, you know right, well, look there's two games ago 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:21.120 and Jonathan Gannon, who always raised about your game, he 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:24.080 calls you an energy giver. Whenever we bring up Michael Carter, 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:26.680 he says energy giver and then he goes on from there. 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:29.120 But here's the big picture on the big red Jonathan 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.040 Gannon and the fact you have two games to go. 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.480 I'm excited for these two opportunities, one on the road 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:38.040 versus a playoff team and then one a team that's 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:41.080 been winning our division for a long time. So you know, 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.760 last year we weren't playing for anything, right, We made 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:46.480 a lot of hay and got a lot better and 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.000 it and we did a lot of good things. You 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:51.160 know last year that I thought that we built on 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.000 and followed us a little bit into this year. 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:58.880 Look, yesterday you saw the Christmas games, right, those teams 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:02.559 had the whole Nations TV window to themselves. You guys 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:06.360 have that on Saturday night, right, And and I never played, 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:08.360 So you tell me how much does that amp up 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:11.080 things when you when you know you're in the national spot. 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.800 But yeah, you know, the coaches, I've had multiple coaches, 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.880 you know, they say that primetime games and games that 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.240 are you're the only one on TV. They don't they 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.360 don't mean any less, They don't mean anymore than just 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:21.960 another game. 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:24.880 But that's coach talk, you know what I mean. 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:28.880 Yeah, anytime that you get the chance to play in 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.760 front of not only fans, but all your peers, because 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.199 they have nothing to do except for watch you. It's 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:37.199 a big deal because not only do you want to 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:38.680 put your best forward for all the time. 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.439 You know, when you put on a show in front of. 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:45.160 Your peers, it it allows them to see you in 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:47.800 a different light maybe than what they did before. You know, 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:50.080 the casual fan is gonna say, oh, this fan or 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.400 this player is good, this player is not. Well, you 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:54.199 have a good game on the prime time and they 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:55.840 think you're like the best player in the world. Now 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.720 they kind of have fans work so and your peers 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:02.200 is always a respecting when it comes to playing. So 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.360 you want to play the hardest and you know, have 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.040 your player reflect that you love the game. 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.800 Where do you think this team you're just listening to 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.880 JJ right there. Where do you think this team has 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:15.480 gotten better from last year? Where have you seen this 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:16.160 team grow? 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:18.400 You know, what I really like about this team is 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:22.080 that we're really violent. We're violent, like really violent, and 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.160 we're we're assignment sound and we played together. 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:29.000 We've gotten really close over the year. 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:33.800 Adversity always, you know, strengthens the group, and I feel 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:34.720 like that's where I feel like we've. 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:36.679 Probably grown in the most, Like we've gotten closer. 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:39.400 Are you a believer that the run game wears down 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.720 a defense. Yes, and do you see it in the 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:44.960 third and fourth quarter, Yes, because. 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:45.640 It hits the hits. 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:47.600 They don't be as hard towards the end of the game. 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:52.040 Whenever you whenever you, you you leaning on them instead 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:52.840 of being leaned on. 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:56.880 So, I mean you see it just down the film 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:58.760 sometimes right all of a sudden, Oh, maybe some of 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:01.480 those guys aren't getting off black earlier. 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:03.439 It's something that we call it in the running back room, 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:07.160 turned down service. So I see you on the film 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.520 turn it down, hits it, or you could have made 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:12.599 the big hit, or but you backed up and you 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:14.120 let your teammate make it. 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:15.240 That's turned down service. 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:17.960 You played bigger than you are too. 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:20.280 Yeah, because I didn't know I was. I was undersize 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:23.480 to someone else told me, I love it. 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:24.040 I love that. 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:24.679 All right. 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.440 We continue just getting rolling. In fact with running back 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:30.120 Michael Carter is the Big Red Rage presented by Santan 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:32.880 Forrn and Gilbert live from Trophy and Chandler located on 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.280 Queen Creek Road between Price and Dobson. 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:42.400 Carter the loan back Murray takes bakes the hand off 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:45.160 setting up in the pocket checks it down to your side. 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:47.480 Caught by Carter at the forty, slips and tackle half 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:50.360 the fifty and has a first down to the forty 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:52.079 four yard line of the Panthers. 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.240 Check the ball down to Michael Carter. How many times 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.920 do we see Michael Carter make a play for the 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:01.439 Amazona Cardinals when he gets the opportunity the blood. 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:03.480 Mike's just a professional, That's what he is. Man, He's 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:05.120 expected to be ready to go at any time, and 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:07.520 that's what he did. And so, uh yeah, first of all, 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:09.520 Mike's faith is what drives him. And then again, he's 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:11.520 just a professional. I mean, he's been around, he knows 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:13.640 how it goes, and he's always ready to go. So 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:15.760 he is a professional professional. That's the best way I 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:16.520 could describe Mike. 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:17.319 So. 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:21.160 Autrey Denson, Cardinals running backs coach. Earlier today here on 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:24.640 the Big Red Rage, Michael Carter is our guest, all 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:27.559 presented by santan Ford and Gilbert We are santan Ford Live, 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.079 a Trophy and Chandler located on Queen Creek Road between 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:32.720 Price and Dobson. Audrey Dentson is still like one of 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:37.000 the leading ball carriers in the history of Notre Dame football. 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:37.800 Number one all the time? 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:38.559 Is he really? 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:39.079 Yeah? 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.520 Okay, so it sounds like he's made you guys aware 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:41.960 of that fact. 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:44.240 Well, actually, I think James was the one that made 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:46.720 me wear He doesn't like to talk about him, so 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:49.640 I'll call him a d but for sure. 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:51.280 But we also call him at for all time. 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:54.880 So he's so he's not talking any trash about Notre 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:55.440 Dame right now. 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:01.920 Okay, they be Indiana, he's feeling good, I guess. But 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:06.280 Georgia is a different team, so listen. I personally think 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:08.840 Notre Dame's gonna be Georgia too, though, oh you do. 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:10.800 Why do you think that's gonna happen? 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:12.480 Because I think that Georgia had a hard time with 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:14.640 the zone read against Georgia Tech. 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:18.480 Their defense is also really good. Notre Dame's defense really good. 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:19.920 Okay, there you go. 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:22.560 This is this a good time to ask him about 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.160 the Bill Bellichich and uh. 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.560 College football runs through Chapel Hill, North Carolina. 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:32.480 Oh no, oh no, okay, So Bill Belichick, get your 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:35.720 your thoughts. When you heard Bill Belichick was going to 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.200 be the head coach at North Carolina. 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:39.720 You might as well just start signing us for the 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:41.120 rings now, you know what I mean? 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:45.880 Like college football, College football runs through Chapel Hill, Bill, Baby, 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:46.280 Let's go. 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.000 You think he's gonna transition to the college game. 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:50.120 I know he is. 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:53.400 Let's go, Baby, Taboo Tapple Hill, North Carolina Tar Hills. 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:55.360 You know, we don't need to transfer portal. We developed 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.320 the young cast, and we developed the young cast and 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.240 they don't hit the portal because we got the type 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:02.760 of campus that you don't ever want to leave whenever 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:03.280 you enroll. 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.880 Well, it is beautiful Chapel Hill, There's no doubt about that. 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:10.760 That is beautiful right there. But it's interesting because Bill 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:12.960 Belichick was my head coach for two years in the 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:16.560 NFL back in Cleveland. Yeah, okay, I know right now, 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:21.920 he did, and he was actually young back then, right, 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:25.640 But so it it hits me in a weird kind 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:28.280 of way when I think of him being a college 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:32.800 football coach and not an NFL coach. An NFL coach 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:35.160 to me was the quintessential NFL coach. 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:35.760 It was. 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:38.040 He was a bit of a sociopath in terms of, 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:40.360 you know, I'm not going to ask you about your family. 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:42.840 I'm not going to pretend like I like you. I'm 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:47.200 not gonna bring coach. He was just about football. I'm 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:49.680 just going to coach football. That's what I'm gonna do 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.440 right there. And I expect you to do your job. 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:55.120 That's what he was all about. There's got to be 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:58.600 a little bit of relationship building when you're talking about 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:00.960 at the college level. Do you not think so much? 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:03.000 I think so? I think so. I think how do 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:04.040 you think he's gonna do it? 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:04.320 All that? 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.360 I think he's personable guy. I feel like we've seen 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:08.160 him on TV, you know what I. 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:11.560 Mean, which I gotta tell you his his image on TV. 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:13.240 I'm like, coach, who are you. 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:15.480 To say that I was running us after practicing? 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:18.920 No, So I think that he's gonna have to take 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:24.120 some of that media personality his true personality. And I 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:27.120 got kind of transferred into the recruiting and but his 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:28.280 girlfriend's keeping him young. 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:34.040 So okay, oh man, you know what, this might be 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:36.880 a good time for a SoundBite. Here's Jonathan Gannon how 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:39.760 Michael Carter has handled his role this year. 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:43.200 He's got really good character and he's a team first guy. 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:46.120 So and that's the guy that he loves to play football. 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:50.440 So his role of being where he was at this year. 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.640 I thought he took it in stride and maximized his role, 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:55.800 you know what I mean. And I'm grateful we have him. 0:16:55.800 --> 0:17:00.480 But he's a really good teammate. He's a co editor, 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:02.280 you know what I mean. So if he can put 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:03.760 the helmet on, and he wants to put the helmet on, 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:04.600 what do. 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:07.040 You think JG sees in you as a player as 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:10.680 a running back? We know is he wants guys who 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:14.080 are deadly serious about football right first and foremost. And 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:16.080 what do you think you've shown him or hope you've 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:16.920 shown him this year? 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:18.920 Yeah, I think that's the first thing we have in common, 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:21.560 is that were both very serious about the game and 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:24.840 also he caused me the energy give He definitely is 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:27.399 as well. So I think, you know, we probably have 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:31.320 more coming than we've talked about before. But I think, well, 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.240 I know I've shown him consistency since I've gotten here. 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:38.000 I've been able to not only in the games, but 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:40.920 in practice, in the meetings, and you know just how 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:45.560 I move every day with my teammates, coaches, the janitors, Armando, Armando. 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:47.040 Uh, everybody. 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:49.520 You're not sure everybody would respect and I get I 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:50.600 do you give me a job? 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:53.000 I'm gonna get it done, and I'm gonna do it well. 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:55.760 So how much opportunity do you think, Michael, you're gonna 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:58.879 get over these last two games? How much opportunity do 0:17:58.960 --> 0:17:59.800 you think you're gonna go? 0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:03.800 I don't know. I don't know. I definitely can't see 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:04.320 the future. 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:07.640 But I hope it's like a lot, like a lot 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:09.280 to make up for the last few weeks. 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:11.640 So I hope it's a lot. 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:14.960 Because when we look at your background, I mean, there's 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:18.159 no doubt you can play. There's little doubt as to 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:20.040 why you believe you can play when you were what 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:24.160 all acc first team, right, you are thirteam All American. 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:26.200 I mean you go back to high school. Let's just 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:27.960 talk about high school for a minute. Is this a 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:29.920 type out? Was this really your senior year or is 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:33.400 this your whole career? Twenty five hundred rushing yards, thirty 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:37.320 four hundred dollar purpose yards almost and forty five touchdowns. Yeah, 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:38.720 just your senior year. 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:39.000 Yeah. 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:40.960 I didn't do it alone. Though I didn't do it alone. 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:43.680 My little brother was right there and he was making 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:46.600 sure I was. I was staying locked in.

This is 0:24:23.560 --> 0:24:26.439 a quote you said, I really love football, and I 0:24:26.480 --> 0:24:29.000 don't play for what it could give me. I play 0:24:29.080 --> 0:24:32.520 because I really enjoy it. And I know that because 0:24:32.600 --> 0:24:36.000 I've been tested. That's from you right there. That was 0:24:36.040 --> 0:24:37.800 a quote. What did you mean by that? 0:24:38.359 --> 0:24:38.600 Yeah? 0:24:38.800 --> 0:24:41.760 The game is full of highs and lows, ups and downs, 0:24:41.760 --> 0:24:47.560 and it's a it's very let's do It's very similar 0:24:47.600 --> 0:24:51.639 to life, right, So, I think that it's the ultimate 0:24:51.640 --> 0:24:53.920 team game and you can't do anything alone, just like life. 0:24:54.320 --> 0:24:57.640 And I was everybody plays for the you know, we're 0:24:57.640 --> 0:24:58.119 not everybody. 0:24:58.160 --> 0:24:59.840 There's a lot of guys I played with teammates that 0:25:00.040 --> 0:25:02.080 really are like, Okay, well, I want this out of it. 0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:04.719 I want to make this much like as soon as 0:25:04.720 --> 0:25:07.440 I get this much, I'm done, And you know, in 0:25:07.480 --> 0:25:10.000 my eyes, I was I was like, I always was like, 0:25:10.000 --> 0:25:12.200 what are you all talking about? Because I don't Ever, 0:25:12.359 --> 0:25:14.400 I didn't really play for that. I played because when 0:25:14.400 --> 0:25:16.000 I was young, I just love to go outside in 0:25:16.040 --> 0:25:18.840 the yard and play my paws put me in the 0:25:18.920 --> 0:25:21.320 in the helmet at four years old. I almost quit 0:25:21.680 --> 0:25:25.680 four though, you know what I mean, Like you yeah, 0:25:25.680 --> 0:25:27.280 So my dad was like, yo, like all right, like 0:25:27.320 --> 0:25:29.760 if you don't like it. After after the end of 0:25:29.760 --> 0:25:32.280 the game it's half time, he's talking about if you 0:25:32.280 --> 0:25:34.240 don't like it, and again, well we'll stop, we won't 0:25:34.240 --> 0:25:39.480 play no One and uh driving fast. But I feel 0:25:39.520 --> 0:25:41.560 in love with the game. And from there it's been 0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:46.920 this uh, this uh, this relationship that I've just grown 0:25:47.000 --> 0:25:49.720 and grown and grown and grown to the point where 0:25:51.200 --> 0:25:53.119 at one point it was affecting my mood because I 0:25:53.160 --> 0:25:55.480 loved it so much, so I had I had to 0:25:55.480 --> 0:25:55.920 fix that. 0:25:56.080 --> 0:25:56.480 And then. 0:25:58.960 --> 0:26:01.320 I just I just it's the adversity that you know, 0:26:01.359 --> 0:26:03.280 when you get something taken away from you, like say 0:26:03.280 --> 0:26:05.000 it for example, this year, you know, I had like 0:26:05.280 --> 0:26:07.600 a big bonus that I would have had, I would 0:26:07.600 --> 0:26:10.560 have made a team initially, and you know there's conspiracies 0:26:10.600 --> 0:26:15.840 out there, but I gotta take it away from me, right, 0:26:15.960 --> 0:26:17.960 So do I love the game? If I didn't love 0:26:17.960 --> 0:26:20.239 the game, I wouldn't have played the shop, probably to 0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:21.400 throw up or do something else. 0:26:22.040 --> 0:26:25.159 But then it's like, for what you know, it's. 0:26:25.080 --> 0:26:27.760 Kind of like football is such a great game. But 0:26:27.760 --> 0:26:29.640 they say this all the time. Football is a great 0:26:29.640 --> 0:26:33.200 game because it truly is a metaphor for life. I mean, 0:26:33.600 --> 0:26:36.560 how many times the game? How many times in life 0:26:36.560 --> 0:26:38.960 do you get knocked down and you got to get 0:26:38.960 --> 0:26:42.240 back up? Right, Michael? I mean, there's a better metaphor 0:26:42.359 --> 0:26:44.359 than that than playing the game of football. It's one 0:26:44.400 --> 0:26:47.120 of the things I love the most. You literally are 0:26:47.119 --> 0:26:50.040 getting knocked down and you got to get up and 0:26:50.080 --> 0:26:54.720 do it again and again and again and again. That 0:26:55.000 --> 0:26:59.919 is the real test of resiliency, is it not? Myself? 0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:01.960 Sounds like your dad kept coaching you all the way 0:27:02.000 --> 0:27:03.520 through your career through high school and. 0:27:03.600 --> 0:27:05.440 My dad my dad was deployed when I was a 0:27:05.440 --> 0:27:08.000 little younger, but my dad coached me in high school, 0:27:08.040 --> 0:27:09.120 maybe not my last two years. 0:27:09.119 --> 0:27:11.040 We had this dude I won't say his name. 0:27:13.480 --> 0:27:16.320 Sophomore year in high school, he was a liar, and 0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:19.200 he wasn't a good coach.

He's getting 0:28:14.080 --> 0:28:17.320 the opportunity just like he did last year as well, 0:28:17.560 --> 0:28:21.119 and he is capitalizing on that. Over thirteen hundred yards 0:28:21.160 --> 0:28:24.960 rushing right now, Pauli Kyron Williams just off the charts. Yeah, 0:28:25.000 --> 0:28:26.879 tell me a little bit about the friendship that you 0:28:26.960 --> 0:28:27.480 have with him. 0:28:27.560 --> 0:28:29.560 Yeah, I played him in college, so we couldn't start 0:28:29.600 --> 0:28:32.960 off as like you know, ops right, you know I 0:28:33.000 --> 0:28:34.679 wasn't like his friend at first, I didn't know him. 0:28:35.080 --> 0:28:36.600 Yeah, but whenever he got down. 0:28:36.640 --> 0:28:39.520 I trained in South Florida, so I came out of 0:28:39.560 --> 0:28:41.000 get in front of him, and then whenever he came 0:28:41.040 --> 0:28:43.040 out obviously, you know when you're playing ball, you know 0:28:43.080 --> 0:28:45.000 you're familiar with other people's game, and so when I 0:28:45.040 --> 0:28:48.200 met him, it was like instant. And what actually like 0:28:48.280 --> 0:28:50.480 kind of like got us off on the right foot 0:28:50.600 --> 0:28:52.760 was that we both are worth at like our work. 0:28:53.120 --> 0:28:54.920 We both love to work, we both love to Grindlet's 0:28:54.920 --> 0:28:57.200 stay after and do this and that, and here you 0:28:57.240 --> 0:28:58.240 go against me and is drill. 0:28:58.360 --> 0:29:00.600 So we can compete, and you know you better when. 0:29:00.480 --> 0:29:02.120 You competing, you know what I mean, no doubt. 0:29:02.200 --> 0:29:04.320 Obviously, you know everybody can do a workout by herself, 0:29:04.360 --> 0:29:06.360 but you know, when you have that person right next 0:29:06.360 --> 0:29:07.880 to you that wants the same things in life that 0:29:07.920 --> 0:29:10.280 you want and is willing to help you go get that, 0:29:11.120 --> 0:29:12.480 you should be able to help them go get what 0:29:12.520 --> 0:29:15.760 they want in life. So he's an awesome friend, and 0:29:16.600 --> 0:29:18.920 he's a he's having a great year. 0:29:19.320 --> 0:29:20.000 It's awesome. 0:29:20.080 --> 0:29:22.120 Last three games, everyone talks about the Rams and you 0:29:22.160 --> 0:29:25.160 know Pooka, Nikoa and Cooper Cub and Matthew step rightfully so, 0:29:25.360 --> 0:29:27.640 but the last three games he's run the ball twenty 0:29:27.760 --> 0:29:31.600 nine times, twenty nine times, twenty three times. Yeah, they're 0:29:31.600 --> 0:29:33.720 a run first offense in a lot of ways. 0:29:33.520 --> 0:29:36.080 No doubt about it. Probably they get into eleven personnel 0:29:36.160 --> 0:29:38.720 right now, seventy seven percent at the time there are 0:29:38.720 --> 0:29:40.880 an eleven personnel. It's one of the reasons why they're 0:29:40.920 --> 0:29:41.720 tight ends. 0:29:41.520 --> 0:29:42.040 All of them. 0:29:42.280 --> 0:29:45.600 Block first, Yeah, block first, tight ends guys who can 0:29:45.600 --> 0:29:48.040 actually do it because they're gonna sling it. But they're 0:29:48.040 --> 0:29:51.240 gonna run it out of eleven personnel as well. Pistol 0:29:51.520 --> 0:29:54.320 shotgun under center. They're gonna run. 0:29:54.160 --> 0:29:56.440 It real quick. What's the best part about his game? 0:29:56.480 --> 0:29:58.600 If you could take one thing from Kan Williams game 0:29:58.640 --> 0:29:59.920 and put in your game, what would it be? 0:30:03.440 --> 0:30:03.960 Think about it? 0:30:04.080 --> 0:30:06.160 Stiff on, He gotta go stiff on. Yeah, he gotta 0:30:06.160 --> 0:30:06.680 go stiff on. 0:30:06.880 --> 0:30:09.080 Maybe you can demonstrate that on Wolf when we come back. 0:30:09.680 --> 0:30:12.560 It's the Big Red Rage, presented by Santane Fort and 0:30:12.560 --> 0:30:15.840 Gilbert live from Trophy and Chandler between Queen Creek Road. 0:30:16.640 --> 0:30:18.080 Grays and Dobson. 0:30:19.760 --> 0:30:23.120 Snapped to Murray pass play Murray with times fiers deep 0:30:23.160 --> 0:30:26.640 middle end zone for Harrison, and Harrison made the catch. 0:30:26.800 --> 0:30:30.680 Ben got his feet down for the touchdown. First NFL 0:30:31.040 --> 0:30:35.840 score for Marvin Harrison Junior, the first of many to come. 0:30:36.200 --> 0:30:43.360 Throw the tweaky into the toaster. Kyler Murray, Oh, my goodness, 0:30:44.240 --> 0:30:47.840 right on the money to Marvin Harrison Junior. 0:30:48.000 --> 0:30:51.040 Play action of boot to the right. Murray looking downfield, 0:30:51.120 --> 0:30:53.959 now loves it deep here side. Harrison caught it at 0:30:53.960 --> 0:30:57.360 the twenty, hit the ten. Harrison dies for the end zone. 0:30:57.560 --> 0:31:04.160 He's in touchdown, like a tear falling from your cheat, baby. 0:31:05.000 --> 0:31:10.000 That ball came straight down out of the sky. Kyler 0:31:10.160 --> 0:31:15.960 again drops a dime and Marvin Harrison Junior stretches out 0:31:16.400 --> 0:31:19.080 and the pig breaks the plane. 0:31:19.640 --> 0:31:20.840 Oh that is awesome. 0:31:21.840 --> 0:31:25.000 So that was Week two. Once upon a time when 0:31:25.000 --> 0:31:27.920 Marvin Harrison Junior had an entire game, an epic game. 0:31:28.040 --> 0:31:30.920 In the first quarter four for a buck thirty and 0:31:30.960 --> 0:31:33.960 two touchdowns, including that sixty yarder were a lunch for 0:31:34.040 --> 0:31:37.600 the pylon. That was just outstanding stuff. Cardinal's going to 0:31:37.640 --> 0:31:39.800 take on the Rams again, this time in the second 0:31:39.840 --> 0:31:41.880 to last game of the year. It is the Big 0:31:41.920 --> 0:31:45.120 Red Rage, presented by Santan forty Gilbert live from Trophy 0:31:45.120 --> 0:31:48.400 and Chandler and our special guest, Cardinals running back Michael Carter. 0:31:48.880 --> 0:31:50.640 And look, you're not that far removed from being a 0:31:50.680 --> 0:31:53.800 rookie yourself, So it was interesting Marvin Errison Junior, talking 0:31:53.840 --> 0:31:55.920 to the media earlier today, just ask him, you know, 0:31:56.120 --> 0:31:58.600 big picture, zoom out your entire rookie season. He said, 0:31:58.600 --> 0:32:01.200 you know, it's just the roller coaster ride you're on 0:32:01.320 --> 0:32:03.520 as a rookie. And he said, you know, that's been 0:32:03.560 --> 0:32:06.160 tough to get to get a handle on for himself 0:32:06.200 --> 0:32:08.560 because he's so used to being so dominant at the 0:32:08.600 --> 0:32:10.800 college level. Right, what would you tell him now that 0:32:10.840 --> 0:32:12.200 he's near on the end of his rookie year. What 0:32:12.240 --> 0:32:14.320 sort of advice would you give Marvin in the entire 0:32:14.320 --> 0:32:16.280 I mean, there was twelve rookies in this year's class. 0:32:16.320 --> 0:32:17.280 Well you tell the young. 0:32:17.160 --> 0:32:19.160 Guys, Yeah, that's a lot of rookies in one class. 0:32:19.480 --> 0:32:21.880 And you know, my I sit right next to Marvin 0:32:22.160 --> 0:32:25.760 team and we you know, I asked him, you know, 0:32:25.800 --> 0:32:27.719 I asked him what We were just talking to the other, 0:32:28.000 --> 0:32:31.120 just chatting, and you know, your rookie season is kind 0:32:31.120 --> 0:32:32.800 of a roller coas. I think he kind of described 0:32:32.800 --> 0:32:36.040 that perfectly, because you know, you're playing and chances are 0:32:36.040 --> 0:32:38.200 if you're talented rookie, you know, like Marvi is, you know, 0:32:38.240 --> 0:32:41.280 you on a on a maybe three four week stretch 0:32:41.280 --> 0:32:43.160 where you're just playing so good football, you know what 0:32:43.240 --> 0:32:45.440 I mean, And then you get the week twelve and 0:32:45.440 --> 0:32:49.800 then thirteen fourteen, and typically your college season will be 0:32:49.840 --> 0:32:52.400 over and you have seven more games left, six more 0:32:52.440 --> 0:32:55.440 games left, and so your mind is like the first 0:32:55.440 --> 0:32:57.160 time you're ever having to go through playing that many 0:32:57.160 --> 0:32:58.800 games in a year. And I feel like a lot 0:32:58.800 --> 0:33:02.000 of people don't even realize that because a college season 0:33:02.120 --> 0:33:04.880 without a ball game is twelve games. So fortunately enough 0:33:04.880 --> 0:33:07.120 for him, he was always going to the playoffs, so 0:33:07.120 --> 0:33:09.560 he played fourteen games and then but then on top 0:33:09.600 --> 0:33:12.120 of that, NFL you add three more games on top 0:33:12.160 --> 0:33:14.280 of that, and if you go to playoffs is eighteen nineteen. 0:33:14.320 --> 0:33:17.080 You know you win, you earn another game. But you know, 0:33:17.120 --> 0:33:20.600 I just one thing I'm learning for myself, not being 0:33:20.640 --> 0:33:22.400 a rookie, but learning myself. You know, it's all about 0:33:22.560 --> 0:33:25.800 consistency and having a routine, a daily one. So that's 0:33:25.800 --> 0:33:28.120 probably what I would tell him and the others, you know, 0:33:28.200 --> 0:33:30.600 try to develop some sort of consistency in your life. 0:33:30.840 --> 0:33:33.280 Michael, what about you your rookie year? What was it 0:33:33.400 --> 0:33:35.720 like for you? What was the hardest thing about being 0:33:35.760 --> 0:33:38.560 in the National Football League your rookie year. 0:33:38.880 --> 0:33:40.760 My rookie year was probably. 0:33:43.480 --> 0:33:45.520 Was it? Was it the scheme? No? Was it? 0:33:45.560 --> 0:33:47.240 The yeah, okay, okay. 0:33:47.800 --> 0:33:50.720 Playbook was probably the easiest part because I wanted to 0:33:50.800 --> 0:33:51.480 learn it so bad. 0:33:51.600 --> 0:33:54.480 Okay, so you were in it, you were, yeah, ross. 0:33:54.360 --> 0:33:56.640 So deep into playbook. I feel like some points I 0:33:56.680 --> 0:33:59.160 could play quarterback. I can can and do all the 0:33:59.200 --> 0:34:00.000 type of other stuff. 0:34:01.200 --> 0:34:04.280 You know. The scheme is is not it's not a problem. 0:34:04.680 --> 0:34:07.920 It was being out like week one we played the 0:34:07.960 --> 0:34:10.120 Panthers and I look across the field and it's like, 0:34:10.120 --> 0:34:12.920 oh my gosh, that's Jack Thompson. Yeah, or like, oh 0:34:12.920 --> 0:34:14.680 my gosh, that's so and so, Like I remember we 0:34:14.680 --> 0:34:17.480 played uh when we played the Bucks. We played the 0:34:17.480 --> 0:34:20.080 Bucks my rookie year. And for those who are football fans. 0:34:20.120 --> 0:34:22.719 So that's the game that Antonio Brown takes his stuff off. 0:34:23.920 --> 0:34:25.480 That was that was your rookie year. 0:34:25.600 --> 0:34:26.920 Rookie year. That's my rookie year. 0:34:27.000 --> 0:34:28.960 So I'm like and mind you, I just I just 0:34:29.040 --> 0:34:32.440 got I'm in concussion protocol because I got hit and 0:34:32.480 --> 0:34:33.040 I had like. 0:34:35.320 --> 0:34:36.120 I had to look twice. 0:34:36.120 --> 0:34:37.960 I said, I know my head doesn't hurt that bad man, 0:34:38.040 --> 0:34:41.879 like the shirt on, you know what I mean. It's 0:34:41.920 --> 0:34:44.520 like the it's like football in the NFL is like 0:34:44.560 --> 0:34:46.960 not only football, but it's kind of like an entertainment 0:34:47.000 --> 0:34:49.760 deal and like a business. And that kind of bothered 0:34:49.800 --> 0:34:52.359 me to be to start my career because. 0:34:52.040 --> 0:34:54.440 It's like everyone cares the same way I care, like 0:34:55.360 --> 0:34:57.120 but control that. 0:34:57.440 --> 0:35:00.560 Yeah, it's like, you know, it's almost like script like prog. 0:35:01.040 --> 0:35:01.880 It felt scripted. 0:35:02.280 --> 0:35:05.399 It felt scripted, but it's it's the juggling with the wow, 0:35:05.440 --> 0:35:08.160 I can't believe I'm here, and then all right, well 0:35:08.160 --> 0:35:09.719 I got a job to do, so let me let 0:35:09.760 --> 0:35:12.200 me perform. And then, just like I was saying earlier 0:35:12.200 --> 0:35:13.799 about like I went on like a three four week 0:35:13.880 --> 0:35:16.319 stretch as well where I probably led the league in 0:35:16.400 --> 0:35:22.640 total yards over three four weeks. And it's goes back 0:35:22.680 --> 0:35:24.120 to the routine where you don't want to get too 0:35:24.200 --> 0:35:25.120 high on the performance. 0:35:25.719 --> 0:35:26.759 If you don't play as well as you. 0:35:26.760 --> 0:35:28.360 Wanted to, you don't want to get too low on it. 0:35:28.440 --> 0:35:30.919 And then you just have to keep going and keep going. 0:35:30.960 --> 0:35:33.719 By a good friend, Elijah Moore says, you only lose 0:35:33.719 --> 0:35:36.120 if you quit. So that's that's the only thing like 0:35:36.280 --> 0:35:38.600 that that always sticks with me, Like even when I'm 0:35:38.600 --> 0:35:40.279 going through a hard time, so you just gotta get 0:35:40.280 --> 0:35:40.560 through it. 0:35:41.600 --> 0:35:43.919 Yeah, I like that. I love my man. That's my guy. 0:35:44.640 --> 0:35:46.560 Give us a quick word on meeting Aaron Rodgers. You 0:35:46.560 --> 0:35:48.479 talk about being starstruck. What was it like when Aaron 0:35:48.520 --> 0:35:49.640 Rodgers joined the Jets. 0:35:49.760 --> 0:35:53.320 Yeah, I couldn't well, I thought it was propaganda news 0:35:53.320 --> 0:35:55.759 when we signed him, because I couldn't believe we got them, 0:35:55.920 --> 0:35:58.000 you know what I mean. They talking about Derek Carr, 0:35:58.080 --> 0:36:01.680 Matt Stafford, we might sign whoever we actually got. We 0:36:01.760 --> 0:36:05.520 actually got the the goat, you know. Like growing up, 0:36:05.560 --> 0:36:09.719 I was a huge Aaron fan. Like that wasnt starstruck. 0:36:09.760 --> 0:36:12.760 I was nervous because I wanted to go well, because 0:36:12.800 --> 0:36:14.200 I wanted my quarterback to. 0:36:14.200 --> 0:36:15.120 Like me, you know what I mean. 0:36:15.200 --> 0:36:17.200 Yeah, that's always a good thing, you. 0:36:17.160 --> 0:36:19.120 Know, because you know your quarterback is fond of you. 0:36:19.160 --> 0:36:22.760 You will find you, He'll find you, and then everybody wins. 0:36:23.239 --> 0:36:25.040 So it was such a cool It was cool, and 0:36:25.080 --> 0:36:29.280 he was like, he's such a good teammate and people, 0:36:29.360 --> 0:36:31.160 you know, people may say he gets a bad rap 0:36:31.280 --> 0:36:34.439 for this and for that, and sometimes I was telling 0:36:36.200 --> 0:36:39.759 I was saying earlier that he's very misunderstood, but also 0:36:39.760 --> 0:36:42.839 he's kind of hard to understand. So but I mean, 0:36:42.880 --> 0:36:45.719 I think we're all going through our daily our daily 0:36:45.800 --> 0:36:48.239 journeys to fund himself. So he's an awesome teammate though, 0:36:48.320 --> 0:36:50.400 Like he's also awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome. 0:36:50.120 --> 0:36:52.000 Teammate, one of the best teamates I've ever had. 0:36:52.040 --> 0:36:55.200 Actually, well, you guys already played the Jets and Aaron 0:36:55.239 --> 0:36:57.120 Rodgers the In fact, it was Max Melton told us 0:36:57.160 --> 0:36:58.840 in this show when Aaron Rodgers came running too the 0:36:58.880 --> 0:36:59.719 Cardinals sideline, he. 0:36:59.719 --> 0:37:00.640 Was a starstruck. 0:37:00.719 --> 0:37:01.880 That was a little bit of a welcome to the 0:37:02.000 --> 0:37:05.520 NFL moment. But here's Marvin Arrison Junior just on the Rams. 0:37:05.520 --> 0:37:07.799 So you're gonna play next in their improvement since the 0:37:07.840 --> 0:37:09.040 first time you played. 0:37:08.760 --> 0:37:11.680 Them, I think early on, like a lot of teams, 0:37:11.719 --> 0:37:13.799 kind of trying to find your identity. So you're kind 0:37:13.800 --> 0:37:15.279 of doing a bunch of different things, trying to stare 0:37:15.280 --> 0:37:18.080 out what works, what doesn't work. Nanny kind of slidify 0:37:18.200 --> 0:37:20.279 and this is what we do really well, this is 0:37:20.520 --> 0:37:23.200 how we're trying to attack teams. Then, as I learned 0:37:23.239 --> 0:37:24.919 throughout the year as a division team, things are always 0:37:24.920 --> 0:37:26.640 a little different, and you kind of played division opponent, 0:37:26.760 --> 0:37:27.640 So I think that's. 0:37:27.520 --> 0:37:29.359 Probably the biggest difference. They slidfy what they really want 0:37:29.360 --> 0:37:29.520 to do. 0:37:29.920 --> 0:37:31.799 You know, they're one of the four teams that are 0:37:31.840 --> 0:37:35.880 actually younger than the Arizona Cardinals. They have a defense, 0:37:36.239 --> 0:37:37.560 I got a really young defense. 0:37:38.960 --> 0:37:42.120 Man. Tell me what you see on tape when you 0:37:42.160 --> 0:37:46.120 watch the Rams defense, I am. I am mesmerized with 0:37:46.239 --> 0:37:49.719 how many guys they have that are year three and 0:37:50.080 --> 0:37:52.160 under that are really playing well. 0:37:52.360 --> 0:37:52.600 Yeah. 0:37:52.800 --> 0:37:54.839 I think they said in one of our meetings that 0:37:55.800 --> 0:37:57.240 they played like fifteen rookies. 0:37:57.920 --> 0:38:01.879 Wow. Wow, that's a lot. That's probably like record setting 0:38:01.880 --> 0:38:06.239 and stuff. So Verse Jared, I met Jared at the 0:38:06.239 --> 0:38:07.880 casino actually. 0:38:08.400 --> 0:38:11.520 Jared, Yeah, Well he's friends with Trey Benson. 0:38:11.600 --> 0:38:13.839 Yeah, right, so I'm supposed to link up with Tray 0:38:13.920 --> 0:38:16.120 in Miami and he's supposed to come train me. He 0:38:16.200 --> 0:38:18.799 leaves when I get there, and then I'm just left 0:38:18.840 --> 0:38:20.399 with Jared Verse, you know what I mean. 0:38:20.440 --> 0:38:23.080 Like so, but but I met him. He's a great guy. Uh, 0:38:23.480 --> 0:38:24.440 he's a heck of a player. 0:38:25.360 --> 0:38:27.239 I don't know if it's the kid inside, but my 0:38:27.320 --> 0:38:29.759 mom happens to be a Florida State fan, so. 0:38:31.200 --> 0:38:32.520 I know a little bit about Florida State. 0:38:32.640 --> 0:38:36.880 So he's a he was a great player and all 0:38:36.880 --> 0:38:39.680 along with trade, you know you can Novale can think 0:38:39.719 --> 0:38:41.000 the portal for those guys. 0:38:40.719 --> 0:38:42.240 So no doubt. 0:38:42.440 --> 0:38:45.000 Well here's your offensive coordinator, Drew Petsyen on what he 0:38:45.080 --> 0:38:46.840 sees from the Rams defense. 0:38:47.160 --> 0:38:49.200 That front has. I mean, they had two first round 0:38:49.280 --> 0:38:51.120 rookies that are obviously playing at a really high level 0:38:51.160 --> 0:38:52.839 and have only gotten better as the season's gone on. 0:38:53.239 --> 0:38:55.120 They've gotten healthy. I think, like a lot of teams 0:38:55.120 --> 0:38:56.960 that make a late season push, I think they've kind 0:38:56.960 --> 0:38:59.000 of locked in on what they do well and how 0:38:59.040 --> 0:39:01.480 to protect it. So you certainly see that. But I 0:39:01.480 --> 0:39:03.320 think the effort and the energy really stands out with 0:39:03.360 --> 0:39:05.239 that front group as it did the first time we 0:39:05.239 --> 0:39:07.680 played them. I think they have the ability to wreck again, and. 0:39:07.719 --> 0:39:09.839 Then they have Kobe Turner, they have Byron Young though 0:39:09.880 --> 0:39:11.520 they were rookies last year, a year or two, those 0:39:11.560 --> 0:39:13.400 guys are really let me ask you just about the 0:39:13.920 --> 0:39:17.160 dynamic though of beating a team forty one to ten 0:39:17.719 --> 0:39:19.799 in week two. Now you turn around, you play them again, 0:39:19.840 --> 0:39:21.840 But it almost seems like last season that was so 0:39:21.920 --> 0:39:25.920 long ago. So I mean, how does that play into anything? 0:39:25.960 --> 0:39:28.239 And was there something that you guys did in week 0:39:28.280 --> 0:39:30.920 two that you know you're automatically gonna try again or 0:39:30.960 --> 0:39:33.120 are they so different one thing doesn't convey to in 0:39:33.160 --> 0:39:33.520 the next. 0:39:33.800 --> 0:39:34.520 Yeah. 0:39:34.840 --> 0:39:37.680 I think when you're playing a team twice a year 0:39:37.719 --> 0:39:40.759 that you're always seeing and the rollovers. 0:39:40.239 --> 0:39:42.080 Kind of like minimal. You know, you're kind of seeing 0:39:42.120 --> 0:39:42.800 the same guys. 0:39:43.760 --> 0:39:46.480 You get familiar with your opponents and there's only so 0:39:46.520 --> 0:39:48.480 much you can do to try to trick somebody. 0:39:48.600 --> 0:39:49.000 Mm hmm. 0:39:49.160 --> 0:39:51.280 So it's just about lining up and being more physical 0:39:51.440 --> 0:39:53.520 and running faster and trying to get a mental edge 0:39:53.560 --> 0:39:56.480 through the weekend things like that. Obviously they are different, 0:39:56.480 --> 0:39:59.399 They're gonna be a different team than when you play them, 0:39:59.400 --> 0:40:01.120 and what we you played them in week two? Yeah, 0:40:01.200 --> 0:40:03.879 put them too, But and you know, I don't think 0:40:03.880 --> 0:40:06.160 they had either one of the receivers playing on offense, 0:40:06.200 --> 0:40:11.240 so it's kind of it's gonna be easier to stop 0:40:11.239 --> 0:40:13.320 a team when you know they're missing that many guys 0:40:13.320 --> 0:40:16.600 that are focal points of their offense. So their defense, 0:40:16.640 --> 0:40:18.799 their defense is playing really good though right now. So 0:40:19.640 --> 0:40:22.399 and I think for them to start so front as 0:40:22.400 --> 0:40:24.319 it should though, you know what I mean, any good 0:40:24.320 --> 0:40:26.480 team is going to start up front on offense and. 0:40:28.120 --> 0:40:30.799 Trueball. 0:40:30.960 --> 0:40:33.319 And then that that's funny because it's like, you know, 0:40:33.360 --> 0:40:35.320 they try to take the run out of out of 0:40:35.360 --> 0:40:38.200 the game and the passwords league, and it's to be 0:40:38.239 --> 0:40:41.160 that it's always going to be run for his league 0:40:41.200 --> 0:40:43.400 with elite quarterbacks e lage quarterback play will get you 0:40:43.480 --> 0:40:44.000 over the hump. 0:40:44.040 --> 0:40:46.319 But I made the mistake of asking your head coach 0:40:46.320 --> 0:40:48.399 a question on his TV show this week. I said, coach, 0:40:48.520 --> 0:40:50.480 how often have you ever lost the line of scrimmage 0:40:50.480 --> 0:40:52.719 and won the game? And he looked at me like 0:40:52.800 --> 0:40:55.160 that's got to be the dumbest question ever. I said, next, 0:40:55.320 --> 0:40:57.759 so just like right now, we'll come back here, we'll 0:40:57.760 --> 0:41:00.920 continue talking with Michael Carter Cardinals honey Back.
